The interests of law and medicine interrelate at many points. It is not surprising, therefore, that a number of medical-legal questions have arisen in the wake of recent rapid advances in medical science. Several of these questions have arisen in the field of tissue and organ transplantation. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to some of these questions; to describe the medical situations out of which they arise; and to suggest, from the medical point of view, the considerations which seem of importance in seeking solutions to the legal problems that exist.
